(1)

Where there are no sales in the ordinary course of trade of the like product in the domestic market of the exporting country under subsection (1) of section 4, or where, because of the particular market situation or the low volume of the sales in the domestic market of the exporting country, such sales do not permit a proper comparison, the normal value of the investigated product shall be —

(a)

the comparable price paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade for the like product exported to any appropriate third country, provided that such price shall be representative; or

(b)

the cost of production of such product including administrative, selling and general costs in the exporting country, plus a reasonable amount for profits.

(2)

For the purpose of subsection (1), sales of like product destined for consumption in the domestic market of the exporting country or the appropriate third country, shall normally be considered to be a sufficient quantity for the determination of the normal value, if such sales constitute five per centum or more of the sales of the investigated product to Sri Lanka, except that a lower ratio shall be acceptable, where the evidence shows that domestic sales at such lower ratio are of sufficient magnitude to provide for a proper comparison.
